@japipes Don't let its looks fool you. Legend says that, in 2017, this old HP office PC killed a guy in a bar fight in Utah.
The dead bugs on the floor that fell off the spider web under my disk enclosure? Those are a warning... #plex #homelab #selfhosted
I’m poking around in #infomaniak email service and it is fantastic! I could have a separate user for my #selfhosted services who don’t have access to my personal emails. Nice web interface and very nice mobile app. I think I want to migrate from #Fastmail to have my emails in Europe. Also this is a good opportunity to also move my main email address into my personal domain, so I don’t bound to a specific email provider.

this post on reddit of a hidden secret #homelab is something i've saved for later because Tracey is not the sort of woman that finds my mad scientist workstation and rolling half-racks. this person hid it behind books which even my ex-wife would be hard pressed to complain about, although she tolerated my shenanigans better than some

My Plex server can beat up your Plex server.
There is so much more shit you have to do to make things HA! I"m trying to see how I can make an s3 gateway highly available in the #homelab . Need to create multiple of the things, then you need to load balance them, then you need to anycast or Dynamic DNS the load balancers so those are HA!
Fuck it I'm taking the outage!!

Make U/FTP great again?
I got a few of those slim cat6a patch cables and I like them a lot. Could save a lot of space/weight/hassle compared to boring cat7 cables.
Any concerns when used up to 10m length? I just plugged this cable into a 10gbase-t link which seems to work fine.
What's your favorite fancy CAT cable?

added a USB-powered 120mm fan on top of my otherwise fanless mini PC server last night, because the SSD has been getting uncomfortably warm and it has reached the level of occasionally dropping off the bus and needing a hard reboot (because that's where /, and therefore /bin/reboot, is)
no idea why the temperatures spiked for a while when i did so, that seems like the opposite of what a fan should do, but it seems to have helped once it got over that bit
Hey OVOS community! 
If you’re using raspOVOS or any OVOS installation, we need real-world data to improve performance!
Enable Open Data Collection in raspOVOS (or your OVOS instance)
Add this to your mycroft.conf:
"open_data": {
"intent_urls": [
"https://metrics.tigregotico.pt/intents"
]
}
Monitor Progress & Data Collection:
Live Dashboard: opendata.tigregotico.pt
Server Status: metrics.tigregotico.pt/status

A fancy tool to check disk usage!

Some cron job is making the fan in one of my TinyMiniMicro boxes to ramp up every night at this time. I keep meaning to look up what it is, but it’s become an unintended alarm “oh, it’s 2130.” #HomeLab
Lots of things changed in my #homelab the last few weeks.
- Replaced the Lenovo Thinkstation E32 node
- 4 #Proxmox servers in cluster
- #ProxmoxBackupServer with qdevice
- Each server having 2x #10Gbit, one being a dedicated SAN network
- Enterprice NVMe for ZFS datastore
- Replaced all fibers in the rack with DACs
I'm seeing high temperatures in both my SFF nodes. Need to figure out a way to push some more air in. No fan headers, so I've ordered some #Noctua S-ATA to 4-pin adapter (NA-SAC5).
Need some advice. Setting up Endless Os to a couple of laptops to give out to kids. Unfortunately my ISO was the “small one”, is there a suggested list of educational applications ? I got Kiwix, Scratch… anything else that is uber cool for 6-11 years old? #homelab #selfhosted
TIL you can mount an NFS share to a pod running in Kubernetes.
My use case for this is to have my Synology provide the backend storage, Kubernetes handles the containers, and Nextcloud is my frontend.*
As an added bonus, I can still use Finder in MacOS to get to my files, if I want to. No client required.
*Why not just use the Synology interface you might ask? Over time, Synology has reduced features on their platform. Version 7.2.2 of their Disk Station Manager killed off video station as well as HEVC support, for example.
@thatdnaguy if using a UPS, check its physical health status I used to have a similar behavior with weekly restarts of my #homelab most of sundays around 10 am ish, I tought all my gear was gone, turned out that I spent time physically inspecting my UPS, it was “old” but I kept the battery replacement cycle, nevertheless upon opening the case, it had a bulge in the inner plate of the transformer, at some point it blew up, but it kept chugging whilst shorting. Replaced the big old UPS with two smaller ones to spread load and capacity and everything has been 24/7 running for months now
So langsam funktioniert die mastodon Instanz wieder wie sie soll.
Allerdings funktioniert mein Postgres Backup immer noch nicht. Hoffe ich komme zeitnah dazu das zu fixen.
Huh. This is interesting. Home #Ubuntu server has been fine for a long time. For the past several days, it's rebooted every night at almost exactly midnight. Nothing in the crontab. No issues in authlog suggesting compromise. Super weird.
Added down scaling for statefulsets into the mix. Found the CustomObject API endpoints when implementing CloudPG clusters and refactored the deployment/statefulset functions to call these. Simplifies everything somewhat.
Contemplating letting the #upsScaler loose in the real cluster on a test namespace… wonder what surprises that will uncover…
